Abstract
The invention provides a method of diagnosing cancer by determining the expression level or gene amplification of p53 and dm2, whereby an elevated level of either p53 or dm2 or both p53 and dm2 indicates a cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of predicting the progress of cancer by determining the expression level or gene amplification of p53 and dm2, whereby an elevated level of either p53 or dm2 or both p53 and dm2 indicated a poor prognosis.
